JACL is accepting applications through April 8
The JACL Legacy Fund Grants Committee is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for 2020 Legacy Fund grants. Co-Chairs Roberta Barton and Toshi Abe encourage JACL chapters in good standing and JACL District Councils to apply.
The maximum grant award for 2020 is $5,000.
Grants will be awarded for projects and activities that support the mission of JACL and the 2019-20 JACL Strategic Plan for Action. Information and the application form for the Legacy Fund Grants Program can be found on the JACL website (https://jacl.org/legacy-fund-grants/).
The Legacy Fund was established by the JACL National Council at the 1990 National Convention held in San Diego. Many of the donations to the fund were from JACL members who gave portions of their redress awards to further the legacy of JACL. A portion of the earnings from the Legacy Fund Endowment continues to annually provide funds to run the grants program.
For additional information, contact LFG Committee Co-Chairs Roberta Barton (rbarton4106@comcast.net) or Toshi Abe (tabe@jacl.org).
Completed applications are due by April 8. Grant award recipients will be announced at the JACL National Convention in Las Vegas, which will be held from June 24-28.
